Hi, I found these flatworms in shallow water on a rock face in shallow water during a night snorkel. Could is be a spceis of Paraplanocera? It was roughly 10cm long and moved quite fast away from the torch light. Thank you!

Hi,

I don't know if it is possible to tell what this is, but it looks organic. It was about 8cm long and 1cm wode, in very shallow water close to the shoreline. Thank you very much!

Several of these anemones were covering the silt seabed at 4-6m depth. Photo taken at night. I cannot decide on the genus. Any help, also with species is appreciated. Thank you!


31/07/2024 Création de sujet : Which shrimp?

Hello,

I came across several of these very fast-moving shrimps during a night snorkel. Very hard to get a decent photo. Splash zone, on vertical rock faces. The orange colour and blue specks were conspicuous. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

This ribbon-like animal was seen at night, swimming in undulations at the surface. Animal was maybe 40–50cm. Any idea what it could be? Sorry about picture quality – it is a still from a low-res footage. Thanks.

I found this sponge in a dark crevice close to the surface. It does not quite look like Phorbas tenacior. Any ideas please?
